The sE Electronics X1 Bundle includes the highly-popular X1 large diaphragm studio condenser, a Project Studio Reflection Filter (PSRF) and a metal Pop Screen. This is a fantastic value package but has limited stocks.
sE Electronics sE X1
The sEX1 is the latest addition to the entry level range of sE microphones, produced with one thing in mind... to outperform every other mic on the market in its price category and significantly over it. It has a large, 1" hand made, diaphragm, 10dB pad, Bass cut and is finished in an expensive black rubber paint finish. The build and sonic performance are significantly better than key competitors, and the mic, which ships with a mic clip, can be accessorised with a shock mount and flight case if desired.Read the

sE Electronics Project Studio Reflexion Filter
The Project Studio RF uses the same basic design as the Pro version, and while it can never be fully as effective as its more expensive big brother, it easily out performs copies and for project studio use is just the job. The metal frame is lined with the same patented polyester fibreboard as the Pro version uses for its outer layer. This material has extremely good acoustic absorption properties; much better than simple foam products. This is then further lined with a high density 'crystal' foam with curved undulations rather the cheaper and less effective ribbed, medium density foams that are widely used by other companies.
The result is a product which looks fantastic and 'sounds' even better when recording vocals and acoustic guitars... its not an RF Pro, but it's the best of the rest!

sE Electronics Pop Screen
The unique metal screen is not simply perforated but louvered at a slight angle to redirect ultra-low frequency breath blasts which are pushed past the side of the screen. This process does not attenuate high frequencies, as fabric screens do, and leaves the vocal performance unaffected but without annoying low frequency "pops". It's also built to last and will take a lot more abuse than a traditional fabric sheild, so its great for commercial applications.
